This is a conversation with Yousef Kekhia, a Berlin-based Syrian singer, songwriter and producer originally from Aleppo. I spoke to Yousef about his debut album Monologue.
I have been genuinely moved by his music and I think this conversation will show you why.
Pluggables: Facebook, Instagram, SoundCloud and Twitter. And his bandcamp account where you can buy his music and other merch is here (I myself have the Monologue Premium Vinyl Bundle). You can also read Yousef’s profile on Project Revolver.
The playlist from Bandcamp is below. If you click on each song you can read the Arabic lyrics and their English translation.
You can follow the podcast on Twitter @FireTheseTimes.
